That Camaro Pic is one of the best I've seen of any car. I'm serious.

Thanks Dude

That's pretty good also but in a different way

Camaro Pic= Good Fire
Funny Car Pic= Very, Very Bad Fire.

Awesome pictures. Although that Camaro one is fake. (as a photoshop user it is obvious)

OK.... I thought it looked real...i know you can get back fires up though your carbs as i have seen them at the track and had them happen to me and it scares the crap out of ya while racing.
Anyway...it looks cool :sun:

P.S How can ya tell ???

Looks real to me... the flames do look a little 2 dimensional but they put the heat in above the flames... I find it hard to believe that somebody would put flames that don't look right but add the heat in the air.... $0.02

Why they hell does it all got to be Photochopped. You all say, "oh its obvious, its photoshopped" but you give no explanation. Thats about dumb.

Well, I can't say what LK was looking at in particular, but I'll point out what comes to mind when I look...

1. No smoke. I guess that's supposed to be gasoline burning, and gas burns with thick black smoke.

2. No reflection/glare on glass or hood. The should be some reflection of the fireball somewhere.

3. The fire casts no light. A fireball that big would illuminate the driver's face quite well.

There may be more...:flash:

mmmmmmmm...good points....still think it looks real though

[kris]

Yes good points, but have you ever seen fire cast a shadow?

The flame looks kinda un-natural. But it is the smoke or heat haze that does it. It is exactly the same as one of the effects that you can do in photoshop, I recognized it immediately.

I have seen cars blow flames like that but I'm sure this is fake.

Yeah, sort of. It's a distortion of where the ambient light should land. But flames are incandescent at the same time. Are you referring to the Camaro pic?

SS2K; You just pointed out the facts that make that picture real, their is a shadow of the fireball, there is illumination on the car and you can see the driver and the rollcage quite well. It looks real enough to me. BTW, if gas makes black smoke when it burns (Which I know it does) howcome car tailpipes don't spew out black smoke?

[Jay!]

You're right. I hadn't spotted the shaddow I marked below. So I can't disprove it. LK was the one who said it was fake, so I picked up the torch and put out what I (thought I) saw. I thought it was real at first, too. I'd like to say I was just playing Devil's (or Lizard King's) Advocate, but no one's going to buy that now.

Beats me. Magic, I guess.

So, Lizard King's, I couldn't disprove it. Can you?
